Greetings,
Thought I'd share with you all some initial impressions. I've been using=
Wing=20
1.1.5 for about 10 days, and was at last impressed enough with it to buy =
it.
I'm running it on GNU/Linux (RedHat 7.3), with the KDE 3.0 desktop manage=
r.
o The Windows menu of the Source Browser grows in width by a pixel or =
two=20
each time it's shown. I managed to get it as wide as my screen over a fe=
w=20
days.
o I've crashed Wing a few times by selecting a code block and then=20
left-clicking within that code block (as if I were going to drag it, but =
I=20
didn't).
o The ctrl+fn key combos conflict with KDE's use for those, which is t=
o=20
switch between desktops. So I can't search for the selection forward or=20
backward, use Next/Previous View, etc. Sure wish there was a way to twea=
k=20
Wing's keyboard mappings!
o The Search/Replace manager is funky, and I still haven't gotten=20
comfortable with it. Haven't figured out how to keyboard-navigate from t=
he=20
Search field to the Replace field. The default "beep" is obnoxious (plai=
n=20
and too loud, and I hear this a lot) -- wish I could have Wing play a sou=
nd=20
file of my choosing instead.
Those are all nits -- I'm pleased with the professional quality and featu=
re=20
set. So far I'm glad I paid the $$$ (that damned trial license box was=20
driving me nuts :)
